  • Apparatus and method of adapting a rectifier module to enhance cooling
    Patent number: 6195257
    Abstract: A module mount for use in electrically and mechanically mounting an encapsulated power rectifier module, having a plurality of rigid leads protruding from a major mounting surface thereof, in an orientation in which the major mounting surface is substantially normal with respect to a substantially planar circuit board. In one embodiment, the module mount includes (1) a substantially planar substrate having a plurality of apertures located to register with the plurality of rigid leads and (2) a plurality of power conductors, associated with the plurality of apertures, that electrically couple the plurality of rigid leads to an edge interface on the substrate, the edge interface adapted to be coupled to the circuit board.
